what a different animal Dam! she is sweeeet
Well with the help of Garm from Micro Image and a few YW members I did it, on Saturday night my wife came back from our home in S. Florida to our home in Jamaica and brought all the mods I have been receiving and stock plying over the pass three weeks. On Sunday morning I quick detail on the exterior while waiting on the mechanic to arrive. At 9am he got here and started. The first addition was to replaced the front spring with Tanabe DF210 at the same time the crank pulley with a NST10% underdrive crank pulley 1.5L then we did the rear springs. Then installation of the NST Shifter cable bushing kit and NST short shifter kit moving on to the AFE intake and Nitto engine torque damper. All was completed by 4pm with a quick lunch break not bad. Started her up and no CEL what a different animal Dam! she is sweeeet. I can peal first gear big chip to second gear peal can't wait to Dyno her again this week to see how much more I got from the 101hp.
The final exterior modifications were the RS emblem that was missing when I got the Vitz and a NST aluminium tow hook. Interior a 3" shifter extension. Done for now, next step rear sway bar,stainless steel brake lines for all four disc, race clutch and lite weight fly wheel. Also maybe a larger rear spoiler and a set of Momo seat, got to talk to Garm. Will post pic later today. Last edited by 2bad4u; 06-16-2009 at 08:53 PM. |
